There were monastic orders of men who took such vows. They included the Knights Templar, Knights Hospitaller, and Teutonic Knights, and possibly others. The crusaders were rather like this also, but they were not necessarily under vows. There are links below.
Knights' mail was made out of iron rings. When the knights progreesed to plate armor, it was made of still plates sewn together. The Steel got better in quality over the ages, especially when firearms came to Europe.
Most knights went through training, and the training was usually only given to the sons of noble families, such as men with titles of nobility or knights. In theory, a king or certain other members of nobility could knight a person for whatever reason he might have. There were many cases of this happening, usually as a reward for some deed. There was, for example, an order of knights made up entirely of women who had fought in a battle defending a town in Catalonia called Tortosa. These women were all, or nearly all, untrained women and not members of the nobility, but they were all legally knights.
